Q115 Once you have acquired a divine rank through some means, is there a RAW way of increasing it? Or is it just by DM fiat?

The RAW way is... actually explicitly DM fiat. There's a section in the back of Deities and Demigods that talks about potential ways, but it's all left completely in the hands of the DM to decide on the mechanics.

Q 118 What counts as "profane" damage other than spells that specifically state it?

Unholy water is about the only thing I can think of. And it's a stretch at best.

Maybe there's a monster out there with a SU or SP ability that deals profane damage, but typically you don't see anything like that. Similarly, Flame Strike is the only spell I can remember that deals holy/divine damage and not positive energy damage off-hand. As a general rule, that's an exceedingly rare damage form.

Gendou Ikari is basically Gregory House in Kaminashades. This is FACT.

When does monsters start gaining BAB and saves at an epic rate? What, for instance is the BAB of a young adult Bronze Dragon with five levels of Abjurant Champion? Thats 18 dragon HD + 5 class HD, for a total of 23 HD that gains BAB at a 1/1 rate at the pre-epic rate.
